has_production_effect

c4 drafted · lead Trip (production stops)

detected_by

c5 drafted · lead Grid frequency measurement

review note: support check: partial - Passages only say to check the grid connection for frequency fluctuations; frequency measurement as the detection method is implied, not stated.
